Jackson, the athletics director for the city’s parks and recreation department, says she wasn’t considered for an upper-level management job because she’s black.

The 59-year-old has been in her current job since 1996 and has a bachelor’s and master’s degree. Her lawsuit argued that white men were routinely given management positions without others getting a chance to apply.

A city attorney declined to comment. It’s now up to the city council whether to approve the settlement.
